My project are trying to respond to this question: "Where is your GitHub network building from?"? I called it GitHub Audience Atlas. It visualizes a GitHub user's network and shows them on a map by categories: followers, following, and ghosts (those who don't follow you back).

How much of GitHub's location field is actually usable? I'd imagine a lot of people put things like 'The Internet' or emojis.

Yeah, you're completely right. A lot of them don't put their location on their profile, and their stats really vary. But I've noticed many US users do add their location.Talking about that, I will add stats on what percentage are located

That'd actually be a useful stat. It'd also be interesting to see the percentage of profiles with ambiguous locations that couldn't be mapped.
